Grant Townes

Grant Townes is a former mercenary and former adversary of Colton O'Neil/Arsenal. Originally a normal man with dreams to make North City better, the death of Becky Roache drove Grant to become an assassin looking to kill Colton, which he deemed responsible for Becky's death.

Injecting himself with a serum, he became the villain Deathshot, trying to cause as little damage as possible in his vengeance. Often in conflict with Colton, Grant was one of Colton's most dangerous foes which also proved to be threat to the Highest Institute of Villainous Education. In their final battle, Deathshot finally killed Colton and retired the "Deathshot" persona, returning to his previous life.

Grant later returned to redeem himself by helping Sebastian Harper in his last assault on the Brotherhood.

Trivia

 * It was revealed that the H.I.V.E. had hired Grant to kill Colton, replacing Grant's gun with a tranquilizer gun. It was also revealed that Colton was also in on it, which is why he let Grant seemingly kill him, as Colton had been loyal to H.I.V.E. in his entire vigilante career.
 * Grant's "Deathshot" persona inspired Colton's new "Prometheus" persona.
 * The name "Deathshot" is based on the villains Deathstroke and Deadshot. Originally, Grant's alter ego was going to be "Crossfire" but that was given to Ethan Grey.
